Success Stories
Raining Profits
 Despite years of experience in his field, Pat Stella knew he needed some sound business advice before he started his Nashville fire sprinkler business. Stella contacted his local SCORE office and found a mentor with vital knowledge in his industry.
Since then sales have grown steadily. "When I started my business I felt the need to share ideas with someone that had a similar background and experience. SCORE sent Bill Fowler, who became a mentor and friend. I know all of our success has been greatly enhanced by SCORE and Bill Fowler's association with Fire Sprinkler, LLC." Find out more.
